Basics of Supervision (Multi-Day Course)

Registrations have closed for this session. The next session of Basics of Supervision will be held on May 15 & 22.

Good supervisors are the first line of defense against employee disengagement and turnover. Yet only one third of all supervisors and managers are perceived to be strong leaders. This course will provide both new and seasoned team leads, supervisors, managers, and above the tools they need to be effective.

This comprehensive virtual training program is offered over two full days. Each session equips participants with the essential skills to lead and motivate their teams effectively. Through interactive sessions, insightful discussions, and practical exercises, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to navigate the complexities of supervisory roles.
